Reshade's CRT filter and other effects is great for processing 2D visuals, much like the shaders and filters available for emulators. I just love the way it interacts with the pixel artwork and smooths it out in a much more interesting way than stuff like plain bilinear filters. There are too many p...

The real tragedy here is that you can no longer force use enemy refineries and repair pads.

Maybe nerfing hinds a bit is a better choice? They seem a bit too good at taking out flaks which is the primary counter to arty+hinds. It seems that the soviet player has to put significantly more effort into out-microing them to stand a chance, since they die pretty fast from hind attacks. Might ju...

I have started recording and uploading some of my OpenRA, mostly TD-oriented sessions. No commentary as of yet. Not really sure what format I would like. I'm the kind of person who obsesses over edited and rehearsed takes to communicate clearly and cohesively, as opposed to live VO with warts and al...

All the little new overlay functions are a good touch and much better than having to open the bulky production tab. The music volume might be a bit too loud though. Also funny to hear my super old remix at the end there.

Maybe grenadiers that don't explode on death could be one interesting feature for a third sub-faction.

Is there anything more that can be done with the dogs? Although technically I guess it's moreso bugs holding them back than underpowered design. One of their biggest problem is how they tend to stack on top of eachother after attacking in groups.

Here is a 4 player FFA from tonight. 37 minutes long. Not really high skill play, certainly not from me (glabasnat is clearly the most competent by a big margin). But I think it has some good entertainment value due to some good showcase of longbow and even radar jammer use which I don't think you s...

Tiberian Sun would be great for accomplishing things you otherwise couldn't in the native engine. Garrisonable buildings, money generating tech buildings, stereo sound with ambience (can't believe they didn't get that in. RA2 was such a huge leap sound-wise)...

Outline color on ingame text

I'm talking mainly about the countdown text in the upper left corner for stuff like GPS and atom bombs. The text is the same color as the player, but since players can pick any RGB value this sometimes makes the text very hard to read when juxtaposed against the backdrop (dark colors are especially ...

The lack of concrete actually taking away health from buildings is a type of design that just feels annoying and punishing to the player. I think there are ways of achieving basically the same function but instead having a positive spin on it. Like, maybe buildings by default just have less health/a...
